[00:03] Kye-sook
    So this is where you were.
[00:08] Kye-sook
    As you predicted, I discovered a secret account.
[00:13] Kye-sook
    There are signs that taxes were
    being illegally managed.
[00:17] Soo-won
    Good work.
[00:19] Kye-sook
    I have already dismissed the man in charge.
[00:22] Kye-sook
    Evidently, the corruption runs deep.
[00:27] Soo-won
    King Il was a kind man...
[00:30] Soo-won
    Kindness is not a crime.
[00:34] Soo-won
    But sometimes, it awakens the
    weakness and greed in others.
[00:39] Kye-sook
    Yes...
[00:42] Kye-sook
    Your Majesty, the late King Il
    forbade anyone from reading that.
[00:46] Soo-won
    Yes.
[00:49] Soo-won
    It's a book on the legend of the four dragons.
[00:51] Soo-won
    When I was a child, I would often sneak in here
[00:55] Soo-won
    and find great excitement in reading this book.
[01:00] Soo-won
    But it's only a fairy tale.
[01:03] Soo-won
    Gods of fantasy cannot put the
    Kingdom of Kouka back aright.

[02:42] Man
    It's been a while.
[02:43] Man
    I've been waiting for your medicine.
[02:46] Yun
    Sir, do you have any rice?
[02:48] Man
    Sure.
[02:49] Man
    But it's rare to see you traveling with someone.
[02:52] Man
    Who's the big guy?
[02:55] Yun
    Oh...
[02:56] Hak
    I'm a fellow merchant.
[02:59] Hak
    We have business near the border.
[03:04] Hak
    Princess...
[03:06] Hak
    Princess!
[03:07] Hak
    What are you so upset about?
[03:10] Hak
    Because I stuffed you in a bag and carried you?
[03:12] Hak
    Because I said there were clothes in
    the bag, and handled you roughly?
[03:17] Hak
    Because I took advantage of you being
    in a bag to put my hands all over you?
[03:20] Yona
    All of it.
[03:21] Yona
    How should I punish you for that?
[03:23] Yun
    I was so afraid we'd be discovered,
    my heart was pounding.
[03:28] Yun
    Listen up, you two.
[03:30] Yun
    A red-haired princess.
SIGN    BOOM!
SIGN    BOOM! BOOM!
[03:32] Yun
    A former general and beast.
[03:34] Hak
    It's "Thunder Beast."
[03:35] Yun
    And a handsome genius!
SIGN    POINT! BOOM! BOOM!
[03:36] Yun
    We all stand out, so don't draw attention.
[03:39] Yun
    Plus, we're near Fire Tribe
    territory and its capital city.
[03:43] Yun
    You understand it'll be bad news
    if they find us, right?
[03:45] Both
    Yes, sir.
[03:47] Hak
    Still, the priest and the four dragons
    sure live in obnoxious places.
[03:54] Hak
    Priest, do you know where we
    can find the four dragons?
[03:59] Priest
    The warriors who inherited the dragons' blood
[04:04] Priest
    now live and move around separately.
[04:06] Priest
    Pinning down their locations is difficult.
[04:08] Both
    What a pain in the ass!
[04:10] Priest
    But one of them...
SIGN    Saika
SIGN    Chishin Kouka Kingdom
[04:12] Priest
    Since the age of myth, a clan has lived
    atop a mountain shrouded in mist.
SIGN    Fuuga
SIGN    Kai Empire
[04:16] Priest
    Though they live in secret,
[04:18] Priest
    I'm certain they can still be found there,
    protecting the dragon's blood.
[04:22] Priest
    They don't belong to any of the tribes,
    and they never accept outsiders.
SIGN    Current Location
[04:27] Hak
    That's near the border.
[04:29] Priest
    Yes.
[04:30] Priest
    You'll have to cut across Fire Tribe
    territory and pass by the capital,
[04:33] Priest
    so the journey will be dangerous.
[04:35] Hak
    It isn't just the capital.
    It's near the Kai Empire, too.
[04:38] Yun
    I finally got to go outside, so I'm really
    excited to see this mysterious village.
[04:44] Yun
    Once I travel across the kingdom,
    I'll record my personal experiences!
[04:47] Hak
    What's wrong? Your eyes are red.
[04:50] Hak
    If you miss the priest, you can
    return to those mountains anytime.
[04:51] Yun
    What's your problem? My eyes aren't red!
[04:55] Yun
    Shut up!
[04:57] Hak
    Hey, Princess!
[05:15] Yona
    Hak, your injuries haven't healed yet.
[05:19] Yona
    You can't carry me for the whole journey.
[05:23] Yona
    Besides, I want to see this
    kingdom with my own eyes.
[05:30] Hak
    Okay, fine.
[05:32] Hak
    But don't let your guard down.
[05:35] Hak
    As I mentioned earlier,
    it may appear peaceful, but...
[05:41] Yona
    Hey, Yun, what is that?
[05:44] Yun
    It's a huge water wheel!
[05:46] Yun
    I've never seen one that big!
[05:52] Yona
    Hak, what is this?
[05:54] Hak
    Wheat.
[05:55] Hak
    They're growing rice over there, too.
[05:58] Yun
    This area is under the capital's protection.
[06:01] Yun
    Most of the food you ate in the castle
    was probably produced here.
[06:07] Yona
    Really?
[06:16] Child
    Hey! Look!
[06:18] Mother
    Oh, my...
[06:19] Mother
    Well done.
[06:22] Mother
    That's very good.
[06:27] Yun
    We have most of the things we need.
[06:29] Yun
    But we don't know how long we'll
    have to stay in the mountains.
[06:33] Yun
    I guess I'm a little uncertain...
[06:35] Hak
    Yeah.
[06:37] Yona
    Hak, is something wrong?
[06:39] Yona
    Did you forget to buy something?
[06:42] Hak
    No.
[06:45] Yona
    You can go. I'll wait here with Yun.
[06:50] Yun
    It's probably fine.
[06:51] Yun
    From the looks of things,
[06:53] Yun
    this village doesn't seem to have
    dangerous connections.
[07:03] Hak
    Run at the slightest sign of danger.
[07:05] Hak
    We'll meet outside the village...
[07:07] Yun
    By that big tree, right?
[07:10] Yun
    We know.
[07:11] Yona
    Yeah.
[07:14] Hak
    I'll be right back.
[07:24] Hak
    I found my glaive and sword,
    but I lost my bow in the mountains.
[07:33] Man
    It's a self-defense sword.
[07:35] Man
    It's small enough for a frail girl to use.
[07:42] Hak
    I don't need it.
[07:44] Hak
    Protecting her is my job.
[07:47] Man
    Huh?
[07:49] Man
    Really?
[07:50] Man
    A new king really was crowned, then?
[07:54] Man
    Yeah. According to the rumors,
    he's quite young and handsome.
[08:00] Man
    But he's Yu-hong's son, right?
[08:02] Man
    He must be a terrifying man.
[08:03] Yona
    I see...
[08:04] Yona
    Then Mun-deok must have given his
    approval to Su-won's coronation.
[08:11] Yona
    I'm relieved. Now the Wind Tribe will be safe.
[08:19] Yun
    What's wrong?
[08:20] Yun
    Are you all right?
[08:23] Yona
    Yeah.
[08:25] Yona
    Su-won is the ruler of the castle.
[08:28] Yona
    He has taken my late father's throne.
[08:31] Yun
    Are you listening?
[08:33] Man
    Miss?
[08:35] Man
    Would you like another drink?
[08:37] Yona
    Thank you.
[08:39] Yona
    But I'm fine.
[08:44] Yun
    Hey...
[08:45] Yun
    Wait!
[08:47] Yun
    Sir, here's payment.
[08:49] Man
    Th-Thank you.
[08:54] Yun
    What's gotten into you?
[08:56] Yun
    You should try not to act too suspicious.
[09:03] Yun
    Hurry! This way!
[09:12] Yun
    This isn't good...
[09:14] Yun
    They probably weren't here before
    because they were visiting the capital.
[09:23] Soldier
    Hey!
[09:29] Man
    Hello.
[09:30] Man
    When did you return from Kuuto?
[09:33] Soldier
    Just now.
[09:34] Man
    Really?
[09:35] Soldier
    The capital was gorgeous.
[09:37] Man
    Yeah?
[09:38] Soldier
    It was as lively as a banquet.
[09:40] Soldier
    Everywhere I looked, I saw food
    and drink I'd never seen before.
[09:42] Man
    That's incredible.
[09:43] Soldier
    Yeah.
[09:44] Soldier
    You should come with me sometime.
[09:49] Soldier
    It was as lively as a banquet.
[09:51] Soldier
    Everywhere I looked, I saw food
    and drink I'd never seen before.
[09:54] Man
    That's incredible.
[09:57] Hak
    Be quiet, Princess.
[10:00] Hak
    Let's go. We shouldn't linger.
[10:05] Hak
    I'm sorry. I was careless.
[10:09] Hak
    I shouldn't have left you two alone.
[10:11] Yun
    No, I...
[10:15] Yona
    I'm sorry.
[10:29] Man
    I heard that, since a new king was
    crowned, taxes will be decreased.
[10:34] Man
    Don't expect too much.
[10:35] Man
    No matter who rules, they'll never
    understand our hardship and pain.
[11:21] Yun
    Climbing is rough, but I'm glad we don't
    have to worry about being watched.
[11:25] Hak
    Don't lower your guard.
[11:27] Hak
    There's no guarantee that Fire Tribe
    soldiers aren't patrolling the area.
[11:34] Yona
    I need to learn swordsmanship.
[11:38] Yona
    Hak, you said you would teach me.
[11:41] Hak
    No, I didn't.
[11:44] Yona
    You can teach me while we travel.
[11:47] Yona
    I need to be able to repel attackers.
[11:51] Hak
    Princess, could you kill someone?
[11:57] Hak
    You may try to repel enemies,
    but they won't just run away.
[12:01] Hak
    You must kill or permanently incapacitate them.
[12:05] Hak
    Can you do that?
[12:09] Yona
    When we were cornered in the mountains,
[12:13] Yona
    I had a sword, but I couldn't use it...
[12:19] Yona
    Even if I can't kill or stand
    toe-to-toe with someone,
[12:22] Yona
    I want to be able to, at least,
    create opportunities for escape.
[12:28] Hak
    Self-defense swordsmanship...
[12:31] Yona
    Will you teach me?
[12:39] Hak
    Very well.
[12:42] Yona
    A bow?
[12:43] Hak
    I'll fight on the front lines.
[12:46] Hak
    You'll fire at our opponents while hidden.
[12:49] Yona
    Okay.
[12:50] Yona
    Give me a sword, too.
[12:53] Hak
    For now, I'll only teach you the bow.
[12:57] Hak
    Princess, King Il never let you handle weapons.
[13:03] Hak
    Now I disobey the orders of my king.
[13:07] Hak
    You should consider why the king hated weapons.
[13:16] Yun
    But how are you supposed to train with a bow
    while you hike through mountains?
[13:20] Hak
    Well...
[13:22] Hak
    If we weren't traveling, I'd make her
    shoot two hundred arrows a day.
[13:26] Yona
    Two hundred?!
[13:28] Hak
    But for now, I guess you can
    practice shooting birds or rabbits.
[13:32] Yun
    I approve. If you shoot something,
    we can eat it for dinner.
[13:35] Yun
    I'm counting on you, Princess.

[13:42] Yona
    Hak, I can't hit anything.
[13:44] Yona
    What am I supposed to do?
[13:52] Hak
    That.
[13:54] Yona
    How did you do that?
[13:56] Hak
    I aimed.
[13:58] Yona
    I don't get it.
[14:00] Hak
    Don't get what?

SIGN    Prodigies don't understand how the incompetent feel.
[14:04] Yona
    You could never be a teacher, Hak.
[14:06] Hak
    Hold it.
[14:09] Hak
    Listen up.
[14:11] Hak
    You lack basic strength.
[14:15] Hak
    You must build the strength to draw the
    bow without shaking, and then...
[14:20] Hak
    Learn by doing.
[14:24] Hak
    A master archer can strike a
    target with their eyes closed.
[14:29] Hak
    Don't be deceived by what you see.
[14:33] Hak
    For now, focus on shooting straight.
[15:00] Yun
    What's that sound?
[15:07] Yun
    She's practicing archery this late at night?
[15:19] Yun
    This morning, we're having poultry and rice.
[15:23] Yona
    That looks delicious!
[15:24] Yona
    You really can do anything.
[15:27] Yun
    Well, I am a genius.
[15:32] Yun
    Your shooting posture is getting better.
[15:35] Yona
    Really? Can you shoot a bow?
[15:39] Yun
    Well, I'm not unable...
[15:42] Yun
    But it's best not to take up
    weapons half-heartedly.
[15:46] Yona
    Huh?
[15:47] Yun
    I'm talking about whether you can kill someone.
[15:50] Yun
    You say it's for self-defense,
[15:52] Yun
    but do you really think powerless people
    like us are shown pity on the battlefield?
[16:00] Yun
    For us to survive,
[16:02] Yun
    we need to learn merciless
    techniques to strike vital points,
[16:05] Yun
    or use this and rely on mental battles.
[16:10] Yun
    The Thunder Beast can afford to hold
    back because of how strong he is.
[16:25] Yona
    It's cute.
[16:27] Yona
    Even if it were human, I'd have
    to shoot it on the battlefield.
[16:33] Yona
    Drawing a bow means taking and losing lives.
[16:43] Yona
    My father hated pain.
[16:46] Yona
    But, Father, if I do not take lives, I cannot live.
[16:56] Hak
    You almost had it.
[16:58] Yona
    I needlessly injured it.
[17:01] Yona
    That's just cruel.
[17:03] Hak
    Because you hesitated.
[17:08] Hak
    Yun, you go ahead.
[17:10] Yun
    Sure, but you'd better come soon.
[17:13] Yun
    We're nearly at the place Ik-su mentioned.
[17:16] Hak
    Okay. We'll be right there.
[17:23] Hak
    Now, then. Show your teacher how
    much progress you've made.
[17:29] Hak
    Okay!
[17:30] Hak
    First, try to hit this tree.
[17:36] Hak
    Congratulations! I knew you could do it.
[17:39] Hak
    You hit the tree.
[17:41] Yona
    For some reason, I resent you right now.
SIGN    But it was a compliment...
[17:43] Hak
    What else? Well...
[17:47] Hak
    Aim for me.
[17:50] Yona
    I can't!
[17:51] Hak
    It's all right. I'll dodge it.
[17:54] Hak
    You'll practice hitting a moving target.
[17:56] Hak
    No, you'll practice shooting a person.
[18:00] Hak
    I'll move around. Try to shoot me.
[18:04] Yona
    Don't blame me if I hit you!
[18:07] Yona
    Hak! Don't move around so much!
[18:10] Hak
    You aren't even close to hitting me.
[18:20] Hak
    You lack the intention to kill.
[18:22] Yona
    Th-The intention to kill?
    Of course I don't have that.
[18:25] Hak
    Then imagine I'm one of your pursuers.
[18:29] Hak
    Envision the men who want to kill you.
[18:32] Yona
    No one like that exists!
[18:36] Hak
    Really? Then...
[18:40] Hak
    Imagine I'm Su-won and shoot.
[18:53] Yona
    I hate this side of you.
[18:58] Yona
    But...
[19:00] Yona
    To protect you, I'm willing to take up a weapon,
[19:05] Yona
    even if it means sacrificing someone!
[19:14] Yona
    Hak...
[19:17] Hak
    Don't say you'll protect me.
[19:21] Yona
    Why not?
[19:24] Hak
    It stirs my desire.
[19:27] Hak
    In any case, it's my job to protect you.
[19:33] Hak
    I told you to think of me as a tool.
[19:36] Hak
    You don't have to worry about your tools.
[19:41] Hak
    It's gotten harder to see.
[19:44] Yona
    How far did Yun go?
[19:47] Hak
    A mysterious village, shrouded in mist.
[19:50] Hak
    It should be around here somewhere,
    but where is the village?
[19:54] Yona
    Hak, there's trouble!
[19:56] Hak
    I can't see anything.
[19:57] Hak
    Where are you?
[19:58] Yona
    Here! Come quickly!
[20:04] Yona
    Hak, these are Yun's belongings.

    Answer me!

    Leave! Leave!

    Leave this land immediately.
[20:22] Yona
    Who's there?
[20:23] Man
    If you intrude any further, the gods will punish you.
[20:29] Hak
    Your gods must be quite magnificent to
    punish people while hiding in the mist!
[20:42] Man
    Who are you?
[20:44] Man
    You cleared our mist with a single swing.
[20:47] Hak
    Are you from the dragon's village?
[20:50] Man
    You're familiar with our clan.
[20:53] Man
    All the more reason we cannot let you leave alive.
[20:56] Man
    Is the boy one of your friends, too?

    From the Wind lands.
